News from the APM Our churchwardens are Phil Atkinson and John
Dracup, Deanery reps are Sally Dinsdale, Sandy Vanstan and Roger
Wills, PCC reps are James Parkinson, Jenny Farrall-Bird and Elaine
Wells. The meeting focused on the future and in particular the Well
involvement with The lighthouse Group. A Christian organisation to
bring quality alternative education for those on the brink of
exclusion and beyond in High Schools. We now have a partnership
with them to provide a part-time service to schools in the Wakefield
area. This will build on the already good work that Gav and Jenny
are doing with Freeston in mentoring students. We will be
advertising for staffing for the centre in the near future. The centre
will be based in the Parish Rooms on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday
and Friday afternoons each week during term time. This will mean
some reorganising of the Parish Rooms to meet Ofsted requirements
for the unit that we are hopeful of getting funding from elsewhere.

Church Walks On the Monday (9th May) we will have our next
Monday afternoon walk which will probably be at Wentbridge.
Please let John and Kate know if you are planning to come
(tel:223893) and meet at the Parish Rooms at 1.00 pm.
Our next Saturday walk will be on 21st May.
